Donna and I saw Saturday Night Live at Ronnie's on Lindbergh through a special screening sponsored by AARP. Anyway, I got caught up in the chaotic nature of what it took to put on that first show live. Lorne Michaels (Jason Reitman) couldn't catch a break until the show actually went LIVE. I thought JK Simmons did great in playing a dirty old man Milton Berle. Willim Dafoe as the snarky TV exec who could have pulled the plug on the show and continue to show Tonight Show reruns from the previous night in that time slot. I guess what I am saying it had enough OOMPH !! that I felt I didn't waste my time going to see it.

Good stuff, Mark. I’ve heard good things and bad things. For me, it’s a matter of how quick I need to see it.
